Voltaire Won't Stop JihadI hope that secular readers will pardon me for an intra-Christian column, but the attitude of Christians toward Islam is one of the critical problems we face in fighting jihad, so I think it is worth addressing. In a thought-provoking piece at the worthy group-blog The American Catholic, Christopher Blosser mulls over remarks by the late, great Fr. Richard John Neuhaus: ....

... We should instead be arguing energetically that Muhammad was not a prophet, that Islam is not true, that many of its practices outrage the God of Abraham, and its followers should abandon their false religion for the true one. What the West needs now is not a Muslim Voltaire, but an Arabic Saul of Tarsus.

We should insist energetically that non-Muslim minorities in their countries receive the same human rights that Muslims demand in the West. Inosofar as these rights are not granted, we should oppose the influx of Muslims into any Western country, foreign aid to any Islamic government, and the public acceptance of Islam as a legitimate religion. While we cannot betray our own traditions by restricting the basic rights of Muslims, we should fight their faith tooth and nail by every legal and moral means, oppose the construction of mosques, boycott Muslim businesses and imports from intolerant Muslim countries, and make it clear that a price must be paid for Islamic hypocrisy. But for Christians, none of this cuts to the heart of the matter—which is and always must be winning souls. We face a spiritual enemy, and only spiritual weapons will in the end avail.

Bishop of Islamabad on jihad murder of Christian politician: "How much more blood will it take to realise that enough is enough?"Probably quite a bit more. No one in Pakistan, and certainly no one in Washington, has the courage to stand up to these jihad murderers. "Pain and sorrow of the Pakistani Church and the world over the murder of Shahbaz Bhatti," from AsiaNews, March 2 (thanks to C. Cantoni):

A very good question????

However, in last 1400 years Muslims have slaughtered more than 300 million non-Muslims all over the world, including 80 to 100 million Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and other non-Muslims in India alone. One has to remember the present day Pakistan was part of India before partition in 1947. Muslims living in India demanded a separate home state for them because they couldn't see them living with Hindus of India. And yet a sizable population of Muslims was allowed to live in India, in spite of giving Muslims a new country of their own. Though Muslims in India live as free citizens of the country without any fear, enjoying all the benefits, the same does not happen for non-Muslims in Pakistan, be they Hindus or Christians. They are both murdered and brutalized in Pakistan by the pious Muslims - Islam being an equal opportunity killer of all non-Muslims!!! The Hindu population in Pakistan has shrunk to about 2% since independence - Hindus and Christians being converted, killed off or forced out of the country.

The legacy of murderous jihad of Muslims continues even today - unfortunately Muslims have not learned anything from the prior killings. They will continue spilling the blood of humanity until humanity develops a backbone and fights these murderers. No amount of blood spilling is enough for Muslims until they have converted all non-Muslims of this planet for that blood thirsty god Mo/allah. If the west does not learn anything from Islamic history, we are indeed doomed!!!
